Instamotion!

I figured out while taking a break from work that one could create very rudimentary stop motion videos using Instagram. Having played around with stop motion previously, I couldn't resist. This is my first attempt thus far, but I'm sure I'll try more. I already have a few ideas in mind.

If anyone else would like to try my technique, it's really pretty simple:

1. Set up your phone on a nice steady surface. I leaned my phone against a piece of wood and put it in a silicone case to make it less slippery.

2. Open up the Instagram app and get it ready to take a video.

3. To take each frame, briefly touch the "record" button in the app. If it gives you a "Press and hold to record" error message, try holding the button just a little bit longer. Do your best not to shake the phone while doing this process.

4. Continue doing step 3 until you have 20 frames, which is your maximum.

5. Post to Instagram and share! I like the #instamotion and #stopmotion tags.
